  • LiquidIse, on 03/18/2008, -1/+42This would make a great browser benchmark.
  • asnider, on 03/18/2008, -1/+68That's some of the best damn pixel art I've ever seen. I could scroll around for hours checking out all the little details.
  • 00z003, on 03/18/2008, -0/+22I spy a monkey by a tomato shop
    • ByteGuerilla, on 03/18/2008, -3/+6Ha. And he's asking for bananas. Silly monkey, tomatos aren't bananas! Whatever are we going to do with you, eh?
    • cornelje, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4Did you see the kids spraypainting ***** on a blue car by the parade?
  • thelastcivilian, on 03/18/2008, -1/+374,000,000 pixels.

    ...but why doesn't anyone care about the gunfight on the highway in the top left? The other drivers keep smiling, blissfully unaware!
  • borninda818, on 03/18/2008, -2/+3610 bucks via paypal to whoever finds Waldo.
    • Terr01, on 03/18/2008, -0/+11Try on the left corner of the sidewalk around the ferris wheel.
      • Terr01, on 03/18/2008, -1/+4P.S.: Or a better one would be on the sidewalk right before the race-car track finish line, soon to be passed by the green car.
        A worse one would be at the umbrella table under the "I love summer" wall ad, since that person has no jeans.

        Or the bleachers of the Soccer stadium, in the blue-seating-block second from the right, second row from the back...
        Or the third bleacher from the left, back row...

        There are probably others. So where's my $30? :P
      • Terr01, on 03/18/2008, -1/+5Yet more probable sightings of Waldo:
        #5: At the airport terminal, 6th window from the left, looking outwards.
        #6: In the very last bleacher seat (left/bottom) at the race track before the finish line
        #7: On the park bench next to the tennis court

        My favorite so far is #5.
      • borninda818, on 03/18/2008, -4/+13Your bored with your life.
    • philthetechie, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2Northeast of the swimming pool, to the left of the "gift" shop.
      • philthetechie, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2Or the entrance to the supermarket w/ the shopping cart...

        *edit* or the entrance to the shopping center, with the red hat on.
    • theAlice, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2running around naked by the docks.
    • H0tKarl, on 03/18/2008, -2/+3In my pants.
    • slexaxton, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2In the dining room with the wrench.
    • Asianwaste, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2We found Waldo, and he's using a Thigh Master.
    • projjalc, on 03/18/2008, -1/+7Ctrl + F ... W-A-L-D-O ... dammit, that didn't work.
    • vpcletus, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1i found waldo on a yellow scooter south of the public basketball courts in the very left of the picture
    • DapperDave, on 03/18/2008, -0/+3There's another in the airport.

      - There's only one way to be sure which is the real one...shoot them all.
  • psysex, on 03/18/2008, -15/+24,000,000 pixels.
    • mickmel, on 03/18/2008, -0/+8Where are you people getting 4,000,000 pixels from? It's 400 images, each one 500x500. That would be 100,000,000 pixels, right?
    • mooseofshadows, on 03/18/2008, -2/+6THAT'S OVER 9000!
  • TEHxINTERWEBS, on 03/18/2008, -1/+29Looks like the world outside Habbo Hotel

  • coffee200am, on 03/18/2008, -0/+24Taiwan has a space shuttle?
    • digggggggggg, on 03/18/2008, -1/+4Or for that matter, Taiwan has an aircraft carrier?

      I'm beginning to spy subliminal messages to Communist China here.
    • mahdaeng, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2Inaccurate! There is no space shuttle anywhere in Asia!

      :^)
  • Jalh, on 03/18/2008, -0/+17*Find the iPod*
    • philthetechie, on 03/18/2008, -0/+16person with headphones between the bakery and the unfinished painting shopping center.
  • Canada4Life, on 03/18/2008, -1/+17I wonder if the little pool is closed.
  • p341250n, on 03/18/2008, -0/+7i wonder why a dog is watching the car race.
  • elfprince13, on 03/18/2008, -0/+16the thumbnail makes it look like legos.
  • Subriot, on 03/18/2008, -2/+11Take that, Habbo Hotel!
    • Neoanarchist, on 03/18/2008, -2/+3Lmfao. Nice. ***** furni was so hard to get in that *****!
  • ghostrc, on 03/18/2008, -1/+62"some people call it a waste of time, others call it an incredible waste of time"
    • Chainheart, on 03/18/2008, -0/+31"and some people call it this month's bandwidth bill shooting up"
    • dsmx, on 03/18/2008, -0/+12even more just play simcity to get the same effect.
      • peteophile44, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1What about SimTown? This is eerily similar to that game.
    • Circuit, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time"
  • gothelium, on 03/18/2008, -0/+10Broken already. Mirror?
  • p014k, on 03/18/2008, -9/+3Those pixels value over 9,000!!!!

  • smurfsahoy, on 03/18/2008, -11/+5Clearly shopped. The pixels are all wrong.
  • dustout, on 03/18/2008, -0/+3no matter where i look i see tiny ammounts of details, whoever created this was truly the Picasso of pixel art
  • bouche, on 03/18/2008, -9/+2this again?
    • mockupscaledown, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4People get very offended when you point out dupe links. There should be some sort of "renominate for front page" thing, but having lots of dupes seems counterintuitive.
  • kylemech, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2kaboom :(
  • Crath, on 03/18/2008, -0/+36Dropped the Digg-bomb on that town...

    • koob, on 03/18/2008, -2/+1it loaded for you???
    • Dunge, on 03/18/2008, -1/+1Hmmm there's only one purple umbrella on the beach and there's nobody under it. Plus, they all look like kids..
    • fayerboll, on 03/18/2008, -2/+0that's mean he pwned you,moron
  • evozero, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4anyone have the Pixel World book? it's full of awesome pixel art like that.
  • bwpayne, on 03/18/2008, -2/+65wait.. its a picture...
    made of pixels?!?!
    • stupidStan, on 03/18/2008, -2/+5yeah, i dont get it... isn't any digital art 'pixel art'?
      What makes 'pixel art' different than art with pixels?
    • alaceiffel, on 03/18/2008, -1/+6thank god i'm not the only one that doesn't get this...
    • iofthestorm, on 03/18/2008, -0/+13Pixel art is stuff that's been made pixel by pixel, basically.
  • sepht, on 03/18/2008, -1/+2Mirror

  • DanOnTheMoon, on 03/18/2008, -0/+7This too goes in the 'digg classics' section.
  • imacmike, on 03/18/2008, -0/+7Wow. Very impressive. The small amount of the two images that sort of started to load have convinced me to bookmark this so I can check it out in a few weeks once everyone else is done breaking it.
  • VinnieDaMac, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4Habbo World?
  • magixx2, on 03/18/2008, -1/+82Mirror: http://pixel.mgx-studios.com/
    • MutatedNantuko, on 03/18/2008, -0/+16We have a winner.
    • Whackly, on 03/18/2008, -0/+7kickass fast
      • iofthestorm, on 03/18/2008, -2/+1Not anymore... digg>all servers, except maybe Google, Microsoft, Yahoo(!), and the like..

    My server is going to die.
    • Raphyy, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Thanks for the mirror. Lol
    • Elshar, on 03/18/2008, -0/+4Thanks for trying, but there's more than just the cover07_img01.png file to it. That's just one tiny segment.
  • nomis425, on 03/18/2008, -0/+2wow. that image is huge!
  • stupidStan, on 03/18/2008, -4/+13Maybe I am a noob here, but what the hell is pixel art? Isn't all digital art made with pixels? Doesn't seem like a very good way of distinguishing it.
    • ziggotron, on 03/18/2008, -0/+13Pixel art is basically made pixel by pixel, it's highly stylised. This one is of an isometric type.
    • stupidStan, on 03/18/2008, -2/+3I am being dugg down for asking a question... lol
  • rendereduseless, on 03/18/2008, -0/+5ha ha, McDonLBS
  • CaptainValor, on 03/18/2008, -0/+11Gosh, SimCity 2000 anyone? :D
    • Myztry, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1Isometric pixel architecture? Try 'head over heels' 1987 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_Over_Heels_(game ...
      Off course the environments were a tad smaller in the 8bit era given the norm of 32k-64k off RAM (or less).
    • postalblowfish7, on 03/18/2008, -0/+1sim city 2000 is the last great sim city game. SC3 and SC4 were ugly and completely devoid of a single drop of magic.
  • stupidStan, on 03/18/2008, -10/+2'pixel art' is a nice way of saying 'crappy mspaint bitmaps'
    Wow... this is an incredible waste of time
  • JohnA, on 03/18/2008, -6/+2Here is a mirror hosted on S3: https://send.s3.amazonaws.com/cover07_img01.png
